Two Rhode Island State Police troopers who displayed poor judgment and a "lack of empathy" for the family of a man who was struck and killed on Interstate 95 last year have been fired, Colonel Darnell S. Weaver said Thursday morning.

Rhode Island State Police said they have terminated two troopers for violating rules, regulation and policies after they shared a video of a death on Snapchat.

The Troopers were fired following a months-long investigation into the release of a video of a highway pedestrian fatality that was subsequently shared on social media. RISP refused to identify the Troopers.

In Rhode Island, the family of a victim of a deadly pedestrian crash is seeking justice after police released a video on social media.

Rhode Island State Police say they are considering disciplinary measures after troopers allegedly shared a disturbing video of a deadly pedestrian crash on social media. Video obtained by WJAR showed a traffic camera recording of 21-year-old Alex Montesino being struck and killed by a car while crossing Interstate 95 in Providence last October.
